Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater

Action Speak Louder Than Words
Jealousy. Jealousy can rip relationships apart. Usually it means one of them is insecure. Other times it’s because of their pasts.

This is Caitlin with her story.

Bubbly personality but appears quiet around large groups. Big hearted girl that is very high spirited. Long luscious blonde hair that flows in the wind. Dating Corbin for a year now, is becoming suspicious of her boyfriend. See there is a girl named Kelsey who is always around Corbin and seems to be texting him as if THEY were the ones dating. News flash, I am dating him, not Kelsey.

One night, Caitlin receives a text from her boyfriend saying;
“Hey babygirl. My friend wants to go to a party tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to go?”
Caitlin being the girl who wants to be a perfect girlfriend wanted to say yes, but she knew her parents wouldn’t allow her to stay at another boys house. With a big sigh, she texts back,
“Babe, you know how my parents are. Looks like you are going without me. Hope you have a great time. Be safe, I love you.. /:”
“Okay babe.. bye.”

Caitlin a little frustrated ignores the sarcastic text Corbin had sent her. Worried all night about him, she ends up finally falling asleep around two in the morning. Restless sleep. Tossing and turning, flipping the pillow every hour to the cold side, hoping that she will get some sleep tonight.

Seven in the morning comes around and she has only had about three hours of sleep. Deciding to just get up and start the day, she receives a text from Corbin. Beyond excited she replies, “Good morning babby!! I miss you! How was last night? Kelsey wasn’t there was she? I love you!” She hadn’t gotten a text back until a half hour later;
“Hey Caitlin.. Kelsey was and still is here. Why…”
“Oh just wondering. That’s all.”
“Seems like it’s a big concern to you.”
“No it’s not. How was last night?”
“Fine…”
“Why do you keep putting so many dots?”
“I don’t know. I have to go.”

Caitlin had the biggest knot in her stomach. Why did SHE have to be there? Of all parties, she was at that one? How come she has to try and get with MY boyfriend? There are more fish in the sea, go grab your own!

Being the protective and worried girlfriend, she quickly took a shower, got dressed and jumped into her car. She had a bad feeling about last night, and she was going to get to the end of this feeling. Determined.

Driving to where her boyfriend was, she saw him standing outside, with a girl. Caitlin’s stomach dropped to the floor board. Tears began streaming down her face, causing makeup to run. Caitlin pulls over to where she can see him but he can’t see her. Outta site, outta mind.

The girl kept getting closer and closer to him. She was wearing a white tank top that was complete see through showing her snow white belly. Ripped blue short shorts. No shoes and hair thrown up like she had a rough night. Appearing to have noses touching, I felt chills go down my neck to my toes within a millisecond. I can’t believe this. Why would he cheat on me? He told me he loved me! He just said he was happy. How can he do this to me! Why?! Why?! Why?!

Without thinking, she drove up to where he had been standing. Corbin recognizing the car jumped and had no idea how to respond. Kelsey standing closely to him ran away like a little boy does when he knows Momma is going to be spanked.
“Caitlin, I-I-I don’t know what to say.. She came .. and baby, I love you. You know that.”
With tears coming down harder than before, I didn’t care to listen to any lie coming out of his mouth.
“Corbin, we are over. I can’t believe you. Return all my stuff today by 6pm. Erase my number. Don’t ever try to get contact with me again. Goodbye Corbin.”
Trembling in her own skin, scared out of her mind, not knowing what she was going to do with herself, she got into her car and left. Going straight home and tears filled in her eyes making things difficult to see.

She gave up her best friend. Her boyfriend. Her love that she never thought would do this. Done. Over with. Just like that.

  1. that was actually somewhat depressing. I liked how you showed the characters nerviousness and fear throughout the whole piece, her restless sleep and stomach knots. the only thing i had somewhat of a problem with is that the character wasn't so much jealous as worried. maybe you could say how the character felt insucure of her looks compared to that skank kelesy or something like that. also you sometimes switch from third person to first in the second to last paragraph
